The paper aims at evincing the place that coordinative ability development should fill within the 10-12 year-old tennis player’s training programme, and finding out whether, through the methods and means selected for this experiment, one may observe an optimization of the displacements specific to the game of tennis. Good displacement skills allow the tennis player to adapt faster and better to the various surfaces he has to play on during the competitional year. The forms of displacement in the court constitute the automated movement background aimed at preparing the body segments to optimally master basic and special techniques. The technical procedures of ball-hitting preparation require physical and mental effort, in different paces and rhythms, as they have to perform the technico-tactical connection between the ball actions and hitting the ball. Court displacements may take various forms, more often than not they are combined and permanently interconditioned according to the court area, the technical procedure used, and the technical skill of the player. The results of the study prove that the development of coordinative abilities positively influence the players’ ability to combine the different types of displacements specific to the game of tennis.
